VALIANT SPOTLIGHTNAVIGATING THE CONTINUUM: THE LOST NOTES OF TIMEWALKER

Shadowman scribe Bob Hall has received critical praise for his macabre
tales and darkly evocative penciling style. His writing for Timewalker
commences with a five-page epilogue in The Chaos Effect-Omega. The action
continues with Timewalker #1 by Hall, Don Perlin, and Gonzalo Mayo, arriving
in stores this August.

Dear Mr. Bob Hall,
My brother Numptse has told me that you are an honored
scholar in the United States, and that you are also steeped in all manner
of antiquity and esoterica. I have read, with eager eyes, your amazing
articles about the Shadowman of New Orleans, and his battles with that
terrible Master Darque, who slaughtered so many of my people.
Mr. Hall, I am sending you these strange bits of
paper I found blowing about on the ground several days ago. My temple brothers
and I have reason to believe they belonged to Ivar, the broken man who
fell from the sky at the commencement of the disaster we now call the Chaos
Effect. At first glance these notes seem to be the ravings of a lunatic.
And yet, in the wake of all that we have seen, I am forced to wonder: Can
a man really navigate the perilous ocean of time itself? Do these notes
indicate that among us there is truly a Timewalker?
I await your response with much anticipation.
Humbly yours,
Chan of Ladakh

_ded to start this journal to gather my thoughts, and embark solidly
on my quest to snatch control of my destiny from whatever forces hold me
in thrall. Indeed, I am space-time's pinball. I bounce randomly from era
to era, rarely to remain for long, never to be left in peace... And yet,
it would seem I have developed a longing for the highlands of the spirit.
I am compelled to seek out these portals, I _ must confess. The thrill
of soaring wildly through time. The sense of wonder that pulses through
my veins as I alight in a new and undiscovered land. I have the fever of
antipodes - I must search out what is opposite my feet, as Francis Drake
or Sir Richard Burton sought the furthest edges of the Earth, when the
world was younger and more innocent. Never more can I watch the corn grow.
I have... wanderlust!

The Tachyon Compass - Discernible Functions
1. Warns me when a time arc is coming.
2. Guides me to the lat. and long. locus of a time arc.
3. Once fixed, should allow me to navigate the timestream!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mac has promised to repair the Tachyon Compass, as I do not believe
it has functioned properly since it...came into my possession. But at this
writing I am still at the mercy of where the time arcs take me, and now
I am too far in the future. Damn those Spider Aliens! Mac is long dead
and the compass is not hidden at the rendezvous point...
How can I reach it?

Memo - the time arcs seem to accelerate my healing abilities. Like
my immortal brothers, Gilad and Aram, I have natural resiliency and I do
not suffer disease or the ravages of aging. But somewhere in the timeslip
- for I have discovered that these journeys through the continuum are not
instantaneous - I am even more quickly reju_

_eresting that I have yet to run into myself! Perhaps the time arcs
have an _version to _ding me down in places where I have already been.
Or maybe if I did meet myself the universe would be destro_
